Mr. Claude Kingston, who Is concert manager for Messrs. J. and N. Tait, hos wrtten from Wellington, New Zealand, lo announce the opening of the Don Cossacks' season. "Their .lind» rd," he says, "appeals to me as being 30 per cent, above that of the previous Cossack choir. In fscl. 1 think the choral work Is the beat, 1 have ever heard. So It rather looks as if the tour is assured of outstanding sucoe_ses. The opening proved to be a. record one for this type of entertainment-so much so that the choir will m__e at least 40 appearances in New "evi land before proceeding to Australia, where it. will appear in Brisbane prior to opening in Sydney on or about September 2. The conductor. N. KostrukofT, Is quite a bl<j personality." Notices In the Wellington news- paper- support Mr. Kingston's praise.

Actually, the Don Cossacks are not likelv lo open here on Thur.'dsy, September Ü: for that is the date the Broadcasting Commission has ret down for Arthur Rubinstein', flrot «ippear ance in Sydney. Contrary to previous custom, the Commission will introduce tho pianist at an orchestral concert, and allow him to give his solo recitals later. Georg Schnee- voigt will conduct. It is cmphr.sised that this coucert on September 3 lies outside the Com- mission's subscription series. The >.st of the year's subscription events was to have been conducted by Professor Bern« rd Heins« on September 9; but, amid p. general orchestral re- shuffle. thPt recital has been postponed until Tuesday, October ia.

Rubinstein will give 20 conneri.s In Australia. Already this Tear h» has made comprehcnolvf. tours of Italy, Germany. North Africa, and South America. This speed of movement Is made pos-sible by the fact that the pianist travels everywhere by oh-. Even so, he is allowing himaelf only » two days' pa,u.<- at his Paris home before he leí ves for Australia. When he leaves this country al. the end of October, he will go on to Java, China, Japan, nnd Canada. Paris will not see him again until next May.

Next Tuesday members of the Players Club

will stage J B Priestley s play "Bees on the Boat Deck" The setting is the deck of an of ocean-going steamer which owing to the depression has been run ashore and abandoned in the mourh of a river. Under the cloak of light comedy the author is said to have indulged in mild allegory. The ship is Eng- land and the various strange people who appear on her decks stand for diverse forces and movements in the modern state. There arie fori instance a scientist with a passion for explosions, a young Communist, a rascally company director and a captain of the British Fascisti. Mr Leonard Wright is producing

and Mr John Appleton has designed the

setting.
